bluefox4000 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I agree. That......and the COS album is criminally underrated. Mick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I would say more likely the fan/member got into Rush in the 80's or beyond in most cases..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I just listened to all of Caress of Steel today. The Necromancer still gives me the shivers sometimes...I love it. And just think - they recorded this album in only three weeks!!! Think about this- Fly By Night, Caress of Steel, and 2112 were all released in a span of 13 months, from February of '75 to March of '76. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I cannot understand how anyone can hate on CoS and love Hems. No offense, I love both, but CoS is so much better it isn't even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len(songs) Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hemispheres is much better than CoS. But that says more about Hemispheres than it does about CoS ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Still hate it. Sorry. I remember years ago, it seemed NO one liked this record. I've noticed tons of people here do. I'll never forget a Rockline interview with Geddy Lee years ago: Caller: Hi Geddy, I just have to say that I'm a huge fan. I mean, I even like Caress of Steel.Geddy: Wow. Now this guy is REALLY a fan. Of course, Geddy said this somewhat tongue in cheek, but it was clear that he was surprised that someone liked it. To each his/her own.....

No offense, I love both, but CoS is so much better it isn't even funny. I'm the reverse. If I were to rank the 70's albums i'd be 1. Hemispheres2. COS3 2112 (Really on the strength of the title track)4. Fly by night (Really grown to like this album)5. AFTK6.

Bytor1958 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 It seems the "Down the Tubes Tour" Is maybe what hurt COS.. It's always been one on my favorites. RUSH was so far ahead of anything out there. No one knew how to take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I love Fountain Of Lamneth, really a great track. It's not as good as their other epics in that there isn't really much continuum in the song, it seems to be a collection of smaller songs except that it has a "bookends" thing going on with the reprise of the first part at the end. Not their strongest epic, but given the competition it has (2112, Hemispheres, Xanadu), it's a little unfair. Great song. I hate the rest of Caress Of Steel. If you took away The Twilight Zone and Lessons on 2112, moved Tears and Something For Nothing up to after Bangkok, and put Fountain at the end, that would be a fantastic album. 1. 21122. A Passage To Bangkok3. Tears4. Something For Nothing5. The Fountain Of Lamneth Now wouldn't that be badass? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 One of my favorite Rush songs for sure. Maybe their most emotional song for me. It's full of youthful passion. You can really tell how into it they were when they were making it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Caress and Bangkok is without a doubt the greatest missed oppurtunity in music history, bar Madonna poking her eyes out on her conical bra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
